For round 1 of the MocOlympics, I have decided to make a creation in the category: Earth!
My entry is, as you can probably tell, a Floating Rock! My floating rock is like a little piece of Earth, but floating!!

The tree. Due to the rock slowly breaking, half of the roots are now exposed. I don't think the tree will last long, but hey, it is a floating rock, right?

The roots of the tree.

Fish jumping out of the little stream.

There's something hiding in the grass!

Another pic of it all.

4th Wall commentary (or whatever you call it):
This build was really fun to make, and I rather enjoyed trying to figure out what to do for the categories in the M.O's, because it practically gave you ANY creative options! I ended up doing a floating rock, because I had been wanting to do one for a while now, and Earth was the perfect category for it!

While I'm not going to comment on the "reasoning" as much as Dave (he's right though) I think it just should have had a little "more" to it. I know parts issues play a big role but I think taking it bigger would have really helped. I really liked the build and think you should really try this theme (floating rocks) again! Thanks for playing! ~ Chris.

Adam, The floating rock was certainly a good idea, and you had a lot of interesting elements to enhance the idea. I would have liked to see more thought put into these details; where would a waterfall on a floating rock come from? The roots were a nice touch, but what direction would a tree grow in such an environment? Thank you for sharing your take on the categories. ~Dave

Thanks for participating in the 2011 MOC Olympics! You received a total score of 33. I'm sorry but you are not in the top 64. Please follow this link to the MOC MIT group for more chances at great prizes! http://www.mocpages.com/group.php/18342

Like I said in chat the other day, the bird is great, the waterfall is great, but you could have done more with the tree roots. Although its nothing new in the world of flying rocks, this should be enough to get you to round 2. Nice job and good luck!

Thanks Adrian!

I like it
